Fargo (2014) - Season 1 Edit

A boy, we're hoping.

A corner office.

A drifter or, quote, gang of drifters.

A friend of mine was killed,

A guy insulted me once

A hostess?

A learned detective might consider that a clue.

A trombone.

About a man you may have met in the emergency room the day previous.

About that fella in the snow with the underpants

About the dink and the lepton.

About your husband's business...

Aches still, but...

After 40, their pussies grow teeth.

After only working there a year.

Ah, charmed, I'm sure.

Ah.

Ah... KITTY: Now, hon, I don't think

Ain't that right, Wally?

All I got is g**** juice. Hope that's okay. Ugh.

All I'm saying is, you're gonna find him, right?

All right

All right.

All righty, what's your name?

All the more reason to...

All we had is what we could take and defend.

All you gotta do is look through those packages over there,

Also, Bill's going around to local stores

Am I gonna need to come back there and find it myself?

Am I right, Ida?

And be free

And call the victim a criminal in front of his wife, his kids?

And chicken nuggets.

And chicken nuggets. Over and out.

And crowned with love

And do a little trading

And enjoy the music and the food and the people

And every few years,

And everything's gonna work out, okay?

And for your information,

And gather sea shells and driftwood

And he had a wife, you know, and those boys.

And he's okay, you know?

And here's where it gets interesting.

And Hess used to beat him up.

And him, your younger brother.

And I asked her if they had any head injuries lately,

And I asked what you're supposed to do

And I raised my hand,

And I thought we were...

And I... I got... Look at me.

And I'll have, uh, just a cup of hot water with lemon.

And if we saw somebody getting bullied,

And if you got pets, dog, cat, it's an extra 10 bucks.

And in return, I won't bust your head.

And in the evening when the sky is on fire

And it all started right here, in this office.

And it gets all slippery and wet.

And it's a quiet town

And Kitty, she said she found a Mason jar in his closet.

And know the thrill of loneliness

And lose all sense of time

And man, have me a ball

And maybe went to the emergency room

And not beat you to death with a tire iron.

And not, you know, harass the victim.

And now he tells you that he had relations with your wife.

And now he tells you that he had relations with your wife.

And now Kitty.

And people fall asleep smoking in bed.

And pick up some different shades

And poor Lester fainted.

And see the great ships come and go

And she ain't my wife.

And she is suing me for 50%.

And she says they did... yesterday.

And sometimes,

And stick 'em on another

And suddenly we got four victims in 24 hours,

And the back of a 90 year old woman.

And the driver has a head injury

And the first, the most important, is being your dad.

And the nature of this detour?

And the next...

And the other died in a fishing accident when he was 10.

And the principal talked about bullying and how bullying was wrong

And then he's got the nerve to...

And then there's the fracas with, you know, Lester's wife and Vern.

And then there's the kind of deal you're looking at now.

And then there's the stuff a cop sees,

And then there's this witness

And then within 24 hours, Hess is dead

And then, who would take care of you?

And they want to deal with this themselves.

And this could be good for you, career wise, because, uh...

And this hasn't happened and it won't,

And visit the market place

And we don't need you and your big city connections

And we think you should move in here for a while.

And we'll figure it out tonight?

And what did he say?

And when can they expect you in Duluth?

And when you look at them,

And you fall off the darn thing and break your neck?

And you're harassing me.

And your Whole Life Plus which covers

And, heck, I'm an American.

And, uh, I'm gonna

And, well...

And, you know, the Staties had that case

And, you know, then it turns out

Animal Control guy called in sick again. You're on duty.

Any day now.

Any more?

Any particular shade?

Any thoughts there on Hess?

Anyhoo, looks like the driver tried to head out on foot.

Anyway, that's it.

Anyway...

Are not! Mom said..

Are we talking pain pill or something more topical?

Are you allowed... Can you even have that?

Are you kidding?

Are you there? Over.

Are... less inclined to shoot a hostess

Aren't they just the sweetest pair? Mmm? (CHUCKLES)

As to maybe your outfit's got ties

At a strip club is what happened to him.

At least take a look.

At least with a monkey,

Baby, it's cold outside! Brr.

Because maps used to say, "There be dragons here."

Because some roads you shouldn't go down.

Because what happens... what happens

Because you chose not to go down a certain road on a certain night,

Been doing this a long time.

Before the 17th?

Bet that set them back a penny.

Betcha.

Better get back to it.

Big spread at the Marriot.

Big... big guys, too. Well, one of them.

Bill cleans his gun with bubble bath.

Bill have a theory?

Bill, listen, I...

BILL: Exactly.

BILL: Girl had her monthly once in gym class.

BILL: If you need anything, Lester, you give us a call.

BILL: Look, Lester,

BILL: Molly!

BILL: Well, you know what?

BILL: You remember Sam. He used to beat you up in high school.

Blood on the steering wheel.

Blue's nice.

Boss took me out for dinner. Just the two of them.

Boss took me out for dinner. Just the two of them.

Both Chaz and me think so. Oh!

Bought the surround sound to celebrate.

BOY: I just put "northern lights. " Over.

BOY: What's it tonight? Over.

Broaden his horizons.

Brown hair, just under 6 feet, not young, not old,

But a situation where...

But Bill's a big believer in coincidence, apparently.

But he didn't know she was my wife

But he's my dad and you're my mom

But here at Phoenix Farms, it's always summer.

But I got a buddy who works supply over at Camp Ripley.

But I gotta say, if that were me in your position...

But I told the new chief over in Bemidji

But I'm gonna ask you again. What the heck do you want?

But I'm scared... (TURNS OFF RADIO)

But if he's not the driver, I guess we gotta ask..

But if there's anything you could tell us

But it's relative, you know?

But it's your job.

But Kitty said meatloaf, so...

But maybe you could put that in the ad.

But Mrs. Hess had no kind of involvement with Sam's business.

But that don't mean the dragons aren't there.

But the fella in the snow... No head injury.

But the will was very specific

But when you were five,

But you don't believe it?

But you don't get to be La Mercado Rey

But you finished the assignment?

But you're not a man, Lester.

But,

But, I do the talking.

But, on these high profile deals, Bill,

But, see, thing is,

But, uh, maybe it's best if you just...

But... what am I supposed to do?

By this time next year,

Can I come? No.

Can you believe that?

Can you describe the fella?

Can you take off the tape maybe?

Can't believe I missed that deer in the trunk.

Can't get that woman to decide what color to paint the nursery.

Car never drove straight again.

Car trouble. It's fixed now.

Chaz says we have to open his horizons

Chicken?

Chief Thurman came to talk to you

Chief, I arrived on the scene at 1300 hours,

Chief, I'm over at the hospital.

Chief! 217! 217!

Chief?

Chief?

Chief.

Coffee? Sure.

Cold enough for you, Chief?

Come on in. Chaz is working the ham.

Come on.

Come on. (LAUGHS NERVOUSLY)

Come on. That's... not how I may or may not be feeling.

Come out to the garage.

Comes in here a lot.

Coming here and showing us what time it is.

Convinced the jury it was a Stockholm syndrome deal.

Cops left a real mess.

Could be Lenny. Who's Lenny?

Could be.

Could be.

Could I have a sip?

Couldn't find his clothes anywhere.

Cracked their head on the steering wheel, right?

Dad said that he also thinks you've got a potato brain.

Dad said we could take turns.

Dad, come in, Dad. Over.

Dad...

Dad's saying she had big titties.

Day after day,

Day after...

Deal with what?

Deputy Solverson again.

Devils with dead eyes and shark smiles.

Did I ever tell you how I used to beat

Did my math and science. I still have to do English. Over.

Did you really trip on the ice and break your nose?

Did you...

Didn't get a good look at the fella who killed him

Didn't say no.

DMITRI: Hey, Ma.

Do you believe this was connected to the business?

Do you need this to look like an accident?

Do you remember Hubba Bubba?

Do you think...

Do you understand me?

Doctor says I got a concussion.

Does it ring a bell at all?

DON: Delicious. Just a few more.

Don't know what the heck I was thinking.

Don't much like the sound of negative.

Don't take it hard.

Don't worry. His dad built him a fort. He loves it.

Don't you know closed door means "keep out," boy,

Don't... don't go down there.

Don't... There's nothing down...

Down here!

Drills and needles.

Drinks pretty heavy.

Driver could have hit his head.

Drug related, maybe, but not, you know, Lester Nygaard.

Duluth.

Earlier, I was thinking maybe blue.

Eggs over medium?

Eggshell

Eh, that's a city. I need your name.

Eighteen years, huh?

Either you need a truck or you drive a truck, huh?

Especially things that put you in a hospital?

Even more... Yeah.

Evening, Lester.

Evening, Officer.

Evening.

Ever since you were...

Every cooperation, obviously

Everyone's gotta line up behind me, you know, toe the line.

Except I was warm in bed half an hour ago.

Except now, I'm starting to think

Excuse me, miss?

Excuse me?

Extra, even.

Fargo sent us to find out what happened to Hess.

Fifteen?

Figure it out and call me back. (TELEPHONE RINGING)

Find the one addressed to "Duluth" and then hand it to me.

First of all...

Fixes things around the house all the time.

For a test, I'm saying.

For peace of mind, I'm saying, to know that your little boy...

Found this '93 New Yorker.

Found this on my windshield last week.

Four years.

Frank Peterson, ma'am. I work for Mike, your divorce attorney.

Frank Peterson.

Frankly, she's mystified.

Funny thing is, the fellow was just wearing underpants.

Gave him a raise and a corner office.

Gave me an ulcer.

Gave you that mask and gas that smelled like tutti frutti.

Gee. What... what is that?

Get a..

Get it?

Get you to the hospital, bring you home, so, you're covered.

Go back to sleep, hon.

Go shovel the walk.

God damn it.

God damn you little bastards! I'll kill the lot of you!

Goes from my ass to the ground just like the other

Good day?

Good morning, young fella.

Good old Lester pencil dick. (CLEARS THROAT)

Good wife.

Good. They, uh, said they were sending someone.

Got killed by a hail stone.

Got rigs all over the Great Lakes.

Got the limp, of course, but, uh, they caught the guys, so...

Got to believe that's about the cutthroat world of regional trucking.

Gotta go? Mmm.

Grab your elbow with the other hand to choke him right out.

GRETA: (OVER RADIO) Dad, come in, Dad. Over.

GRETA: Dad, come in, Dad. Over.

GRETA: Dad, come in, Dad. Over.

Grimly.

Guess I married the wrong Nygaard. (LAUGHS)

Gunrunners and such?

Had a cut on his forehead here.

Had to dissect a mouse in Mrs. Knutson's class

Hail stone comes down, size of a softball, crushes his skull.

Have had run ins with the law in the past.

Have I smelled your husband's hands?

Have you had him tested?

Having a milkshake.

He already made a statement back at the hospital.

He bullies you again in front of his children.

He came by the garage the day it happened.

He can afford it, your brother.

He don't... he don't look black, Dad.

He got lost and froze to death in the woods.

He got stabbed in the back of the head

He had a boss who couldn't tell his shoe from his foot.

He had his sons with him and...

He must have really loved that boy.

He pulled over the fellas

He put me in an oil barrel and rolled me in the road.

He said if the bully has a knife, then,

He said it was just...

He said, "Let me handle it."

He thinks every town should have a library.

He was in a whorehouse.

He was my friend, okay?

He was telling me about a time where he and my wife, they were...

He... he asked about Sam.

He'll tell you this... this was a break in.

He's a hard on, your father, and you're too trusting.

He's a pig.

He's on the sofa which is... Ha!

Head of security.

Heaven and earth become my great open cathedral

Heck, take the whole can.

Heck, what was that called?

Heck, what was that called?

Heck, you're so sure about it. Maybe you should just kill him for me.

Heck.

Heck.

Height, eye color, that kind of thing?

HELENA: (SCOFFS) More.

HELENA: Stavros had two uncles.

HELENA: Your dad, your dad.

Hell, maybe he wants to pay off his student loans.

Hello. MALVO: Mickey?

Help me get some more beer

Help me understand what happened.

Help you with something?

Her husband being a pillar of the community and all.

Here

Here it is.

Here we go.

Here's the thing...

Hess gets killed and then,

Hess that owns the trucking company?

Hess.

Hey there, Molly. Lou.

Hey, Dad, got a good one for you.

Hey, hon. IDA: White.

Hey, I got one for you.

Hey, my friend would like an orange soda

Hey, now, look, okay?

Hey, now.

Hey, Sam.

Hey, say, Lester...

Hey, so I got to talking to Sue Roundtree

Hey!

Hey!

Hey... you remember the story I told you

Hey... you want to see something cool?

Heya, Lester.

Heya, Lester. Bill.

Hi! Hey, we're here.

Hi.

Hi. Can... can I have Room 23 please?

His IQ seems low, I'm saying.

Hit him, Dad.

Hiya, Bo.

Hiya, hon.

Hiya. Hi.

Hmm, it's real fuzzy, but I might have said, uh,

Hmm, you don't say.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Hold on

Hold on a second.

Homecoming senior year. Had the nice fat hands.

Homework? Over.

Homicide.

Hon?

Hon... that's what you always say. "Slow."

Honestly, I don't know what got into me marrying you.

How do you feel about that?

How do you figure?

How is he?

How old's your kid?

How you been, Lester?

How you doing? You all right? Okay.

How you gonna live?

How you holding up, Lester? How's the head?

How'd it happen, anyway?

How's Ida?

How's she doing?

How's the leg?

How's the nose?

How's your dinner there, Lester?

How's your head, then?

Hubba Bubba.

Huh.

Husband's alive.

I agree.

I ain't afraid of a dink and a lepton.

I also know that people in this world

I always liked her.

I appreciate the visit, Chief,

I believe you would.

I brought you here to make it stop.

I called the local PD. I'm just waiting on a callback.

I can be a real ass sometimes. Language.

I can't drink the darn thing without a straw.

I can't wait.

I could get hurt,

I couldn't see the guy on account of the blood being in my eyes.

I decided we're gonna paint the nursery white.

I did some digging on you, made some calls, you get me?

I didn't bring you here for what it means.

I didn't do nothing! I didn't do nothing!

I didn't harass him. I just... I got questions, you know.

I do.

I don't know what I think yet...

I don't know. What matters is, can you find the guy?

I don't watch movies.

I found a human foot in a toaster oven.

I found a set of footprints leading away from the car.

I got delayed.

I got mangoes in goddamn January...

I got some in the back.

I got these nifty pens... Look at that, huh?

I got you, and I am responsible for you...

I got your number. I'm on to you.

I guess he saw the guy breaking in.

I guess that he pees in it at night.

I guess, um, something to keep it from getting infected.

I hadn't had a lot of sleep the night before.

I have to get on the phone with his wife later.

I heard him say a few things over the years about guys like Hess.

I heard the washer going...

I heard you were talking to another fella about Hess before he died...

I just came home. I just came home.

I just got home and... There's nothing down there.

I just have a few more questions. Is now a good time?

I just want to know the policy.

I just wanted to have a look at you.

I keep thinking maybe it's the settings.

I know it's hard to hear..

I know,

I mean maybe we will be someday.

I mean, heck,

I mean, heck, Lester, you're 40 years old.

I mean, heck, who didn't?

I mean, I don't think.

I mean, it's pretty sweet, huh?

I mean, okay... okay,

I mean, seriously, what is the matter with you?

I mean, you know, here we get this car crash

I mean, you think this could be,

I mean, you're saying this is all some... some big coincidence,

I mean, you're the police.

I might be in a situation where,

I need a room. Just you?

I need something for a wound, I guess you'd call it.

I need you to get down on the ground.

I never even heard the guy.

I never said yes.

I never...

I pay my taxes.

I pissed in his gas tank

I said it's Gordo's birthday tonight.

I said the police are here! What do we do?

I said we'd bring Jell O salad,

I said, step out of the car.

I shake 'em out first.

I should get back to it.

I tell you it's not my car, that I borrowed it,

I think he means you.

I think I, uh...

I think I, uh...

I think the younger one's a little dim.

I thought I was clear that we were gonna focus on the drifter angle

I told the police,

I told this to Fargo.

I told you my name.

I want to help, you know? It's just there's so much work to do.

I want you to center it.

I was a maker.

I was being a man.

I was checking on the Hess boy and...

I was in algebra. (CHUCKLES)

I was just about to investigate.

I was just talking to your boys

I was standing up to the... I was..

I was thinking about when my dad got shot.

I was thinking maybe a deer, but couldn't find the evidence, so...

I was thinking maybe blue for the nursery.

I was thinking of going hunting this weekend.

I work at the library.

I would have killed that man.

I would stop 'em.

I...

I... I mean, what I could remember.

I... I told you, outside the fire station.

I... I'm a little scrambled right now.

I... Jeez.

I'd be delighted. (CHUCKLES)

I'd have bought you a nicer tie. (LAUGHS)

I'd just about hug the pants off a little girl.

I'd like to say how sorry I am for your loss.

I'd write my name on my fist in Sharpie before I'd punch him

I'll call Jimmy.

I'll let Duluth know.

I'll make you lead on that.

I'll rule the whole goddamn Midwest.

I'll see you soon.

I'll tell Stavros you couldn't find the guy,

I'll tell you there.

I'll tell you what

I'm 31, Dad. I carry a gun.

I'm a minister, apparently.

I'm a police officer, Dad.

I'm glad he's dead.

I'm going to roll my window up.

I'm gonna do it tonight... when she's sleeping.

I'm gonna make you head of inquiry

I'm gonna restrain myself.

I'm gonna sing at his funeral.

I'm just kidding. Anything you want. You're the writer.

I'm looking out my window, and there's a young fellow

I'm not harassing you, sir. I...

I'm not kidding.

I'm not sure this is your car, Mr. Nygaard.

I'm not sure you heard.

I'm responsible for overseeing the dispersal

I'm rolling up my window.

I'm satisfied.

I'm sorry for what I said to you before

I'm sorry?

I'm sorry. It's fine.

I'm the guy.

I'm washing towels. It's a towel sound.

I'm... I can't help you.

I'm... trying to fix the darn thing.

I've actually... I got a few more questions...

I've already talked to Fargo,

I've always wanted to stay there

Ida sleeping?

IDA: In the kitchen.

IDA: Mmm.

If I try to stop a guy from doing a bad thing,

If I was any kind of man, I'd have shown that Sam what's what.

If I'm right...

If the bully is, like, a lot bigger than you

If there's someone in the house, come out with your hands up.

If this is too hard for you,

If you don't stand up to it,

If you have an accident at your job?

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call me.

If you saw somebody doing something, you'd stop 'em, right?

If you want the girl, if you want drug, just ask.

If you want.

In addition to the victims in the basement,

In my experience, if you let a man break your nose,

In the movies.

Interested? No, sir

Is dead,

Is it legal?

Is it okay? No, Lester, it's not okay! You...

Is it your stupid pencil dick or your little rat face?

Is Pearl home? No.

Is Sam dead?

Is that him, Dad?

Is that the basement?

Is that what they call it? Yeah.

Is the thing and when I told him...

Is there anything else you need there?

Isn't Hess tied to that syndicate of fellas out of Fargo...

It hurts.

It is the right choice, sweetie.

It just... I guess I embarrassed him in front of his boys.

It looks like burgers. Over.

It looks like the motor mount broke.

It means,

It never hurts to talk to the eyewitnesses yourself.

It seems pretty straightforward.

It sounds different today, don't you think?

It was just a misunderstanding.

It was the... the tide, you know?

It was...

It's a big world, you know.

It's a different rate for two.

It's a fine market right now he says. Real good.

It's a red tide, Lester, this life of ours.

It's already white.

It's always been a problem. (DOOR CLOSES)

It's always icy.

It's blackmail.

It's gas operated, air cooled, shoots 725 rounds per minute.

It's my wife's.

It's not good to dwell on these things.

It's okay.

It's personal. Shouldn't be more than a day or two.

It's pretty sweet.

It's supposed to get down to negative 10 tonight, I hear.

It's unsanitary.

It's...

It's... it's tea. (CHUCKLES)

Jeez, well, you know, if now's not a good time...

Jeez, what happened to your face there?

Jeez! Just stay here with Ma.

Jeez.

Jeez.

Jeez.

Jeez. Where?

Jeez. Yeah...

Just about Lester and the case, you know.

Just bought a summer house up Bear Island.

Just one word.

Just remember, you were warned.

Just ruffians and the like.

Just standing in the parking lot at the Dairy Queen,

Just stay with us, you know,

Just trying to figure out what happened. Aah!

Just want to make sure you know to focus on the break in angle.

Just, you know, stay a few days,

Just... heck.

Kara tea.

Kara tea.

Kicked in another field goal. Over.

King sized bed, view of the lake, you name it

Kitty said he just got a big promotion

Kitty said they also got one of those fancy new

Kitty said they just got one of those fancy European all in ones.

Kitty says Chaz

Knife in the head.

Knocked 138 heads career wise.

Knocked 138 heads career wise.

La Mercado Rey.

Leave poor Lester alone, will you?

LENNY: Well, the Russians, they used to send dogs up into space

Lester never wants to try new things.

Lester ******ed.

Lester Nygaard called me, yeah, and he's super upset.

Lester Nygaard.

Lester, are there any more cops?

Lester, have you been a bad boy?

Lester, he put you in a barrel and rolled you on the road.

Lester, listen to me very carefully.

Lester, on the ground!

LESTER: ...I took the hammer and, uh...

LESTER: In the basement.

LESTER: It was ice. I slipped on ice.

LESTER: Okay.

LESTER: So that's...

Lester?

Lester?

Lester? Ugh.

Lester...

Let 'em know you're still an ape deep down, where it counts.

Let me tell you what's going to happen, Officer Grimly.

License and registration, please.

Like I said, one second.

Like I said, there's two kinds of policies you should be thinking about.

Like I was saying, uh, we got some questions, so...

Like it says in the book? (LAUGHS)

Like, an organized crime thing?

Like, angry?

Like, uh, drifters are a national threat. Hobos.

Listen, on second thought, I think I'm gonna head into work.

Look up the name of that gum when I get home.

Look, can you come over? I'm on Willow Creek Drive, number 613.

Look, can you come over? I'm on Willow Creek Drive, number 613.

Look, Chief, I know you don't think Lester...

Look, I answered all your... Just ask Bill, huh?

Look, I can find the guy

Look, I just mean...

LOOK, I think I...

Look, I'm freaking out here. I don't know what to do.

Look, I'm freaking out here. I don't know what to do.

Look, I'm freaking out here. I don't know what to do.

Look, son, we're in Duluth,

Look..

Look... (WHISPERING) this ain't complicated.

Looking at?

Looking for clues, I suppose.

Looking for the animal that killed my wife.

Looks like she fled the road and crashed the fence.

LORRAINE: How many times I got to tell you?

LORRAINE: Leroy's Motor Inn.

LORRAINE: Leroy's Motor Inn.

LOU: So, how's it going?

LOU: So, I got two kinds of sandwiches. Tuna and turkey.

Lou. Chief.

Louis Grossman, your dad's estate attorney.

Love you too, hon.

Love you, Dad.

Love you. Love you, too.

Ma, don't talk like that.

Ma'am, can you confirm that

Makes the meat juicier.

MALVO: It's me.

MALVO: Lester, have you been a bad boy?

MALVO: Sure, Lester. I'll be right there.

MALVO: Yeah? Yeah.

MAN: (ow RADIO) They won't..

MAN: Sir, your unguent!

MAN: When you talk to the police, just keep it simple.

MAN: Yeah

MAX: I don't think it's him.

Maybe 50% ain't enough for her.

Maybe call some other towns, see if they had a similar problem.

Maybe call the Staties, you know?

Maybe green
